ESPN is reporting that Jeff Van Gundy could be tabbed by the Grizzlies to run the front office and coach the team next season.

Stan Van Gundy is already in a similar role in Detroit and it can't be denied that having both Van Gundy brothers in charge of NBA teams would be a fun endeavor. No word on whether JVG has interest, but this story is probably far from over. Sun, May 25, 2014 04:33:00 AM

In the unlikely event that Phil Jackson reached out to Jeff Van Gundy to fill the Knicks head coaching vacancy, Gundy said he would definitely listen.

Gundy has not been mentioned in any previous reports about Jackson's potential coaching candidates, but it is worth noting that he'd be interested. With Jackson essentially having to start over again in his search for a head coach after missing out on Steve Kerr there is going to be a lot of names flying around the rumor mill. Stay tuned.

The Nets have reportedly made preliminary contact with Jeff Van Gundy regarding their head coaching vacancy.

The Clippers are also gauging JVG's interest in returning to the sidelines. Selfishly, we hope neither opportunity turns into a reality. Van Gundy is among the most entertaining and knowledgeable color analysts in the business. He's been away from coaching since the 2006-07 season, when his Rockets lost in the first round of the playoffs after a 52-win season. Fri, May 31, 2013 04:05:00 PM

The Clippers have contacted Jeff Van Gundy to gauge his "preliminary sense of interest" in their vacant head coaching job, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Van Gundy hasn't said one way or the other whether or not he'd be willing to return as a coach next season after thriving in his current media role, but Adrian Wojnarowski reports those close to Van Gundy believe he is "open to considering a return to coaching for the right opportunity." Denver's George Karl is another candidate who has been "discussed" by the Clippers front office, though it sounds like that's a long shot. Fri, May 31, 2013 08:02:00 AM

James Harden will be suspended for Tuesday's game against the Hawks for kicking LeBron James in the groin on Sunday.

We'll finally get to see just how valuable Harden really is. He's having one of the best seasons for stats in recent memory, so his fantasy owners should still start him with three games. With Harden out, there should be many more minutes for Corey Brewer and coach Kevin McHale may kick the tires on K.J. McDaniels. The violation is attached in the link below.

Dwight Howard (knee) has not yet progressed to on-court activities, and he is still limited to swimming, weight lifting and running on a weight-controlled treadmill.

He has been sidelined since Jan. 25 due to his ailing knee, and this report suggests that he still has a long way to go in his recovery. He is scheduled to have several MRI's in the coming week, so we should be able to provide an additional update on his timetable soon. With fantasy playoffs just around the corner, Howard's owners may need to evaluate their options. Terrence Jones has been on fire for the Rockets, and he will continue to be the primary beneficiary for the foreseeable future. Donatas Motiejunas and Josh Smith are locked into larger roles as well.
